Diljit Dosanjh was quite close to not featuring in Soorma. But the singer-actor did a splendid performance on-screen as far as fan reviews, Bollywood celebrities and even critics are concerned. However, the film which talks about the life of ace hockey player Sandeep Singh when he was shot and put in a wheelchair but emerged to get back on the field and represent India, has set off to a slow start at the box office, says trade analyst.

The movie which had minted Rs 3.25 crore at the box office on day 1 of it’s release where morning shows were slow but evening shows caught momentum. However, the film did well mostly in the northern region of India. The show did tremendously well in Punjab, given that Diljit is extremely famous in that region. Besides, the move will pace up over the weekend. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, "After a slow start in morning shows [North India opening was good due to Diljit Dosanjh’s stardom], #Soorma gathered momentum from evening onwards... Is looking at substantial growth on Sat and Sun thanks to strong word of mouth... Fri ₹ 3.25 cr. India biz."

In an exclusive interview, Diljit talked about the film. He said, "The first scene right after the film resumes after the interval is one that audiences can’t afford to miss. It will bring every kind of emotion one has at the same time, it is that gripping. Also, if you miss that scene, you would have wasted your money on the ticket, which you bought to watch the film."

Directed by Shaad Ali, the film stars Diljit as Sandeep Singh, Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi.
